Prepared by pitch investors service How war’s impact has added to the responsibilities of America’s utility, railroad and telephone in dustries is shown graphically in the above chart. The magnitude of the added volume of work placed upon the men and women of these great service industries is difficult for the layman to grasp. The chart is worthy of study. In every instance these indus tries have met war’s challenge while maintaining practically nor mal standards of service to the civilian population. The workers who have quietly carried on these enormous tasks are not eligible to receive official government awards for their truly great wartime ac complishments. In an elfort to give credit where credit is so obviously due, General. Cable Corporation - the nation’s leading independent supplier of electrical wires and cables, - has undertaken to publicize their rec ords of accomplishment. An edi torial from the New York Time.s calling attention to the patriotic contribution of these war workers, has been reproduced in a Genera,? Cable advertising release from Coast to Coast.

PROTEINS It is reported that a concentrated protein product, similar to dehydrated egg white, may be derived as a by product of a new alcohol process in sufficient amount to supply 20 mil lion adults. ^ When a soldier or sailor is sent “overseas,” a reserve food supply of 9 months must be set up for him. The more men sent “overseas,” the great er the need for extra food. My neighbor to the left was fed up with her house the other morning when I dropped in. “Just look at that sofa,” she exclaimed. “It’s all lumpy and sagging. And that rug! The worn place there is soon going to be a hole. And did you ever see anything as faded as those draperies ? I’ve a good notion to throw them all out!” ^^Oh, but you mustn’t,” I exclaimed. I know. I know,” she sighed. “It’s no time to buy new things, and of course we ought to get along with what we have until the war is won.” “Yes, of course. But that isn’t the reason I think you shouldn’t do any thing to this room until Bill is home.” “But what’s Bill got to do with it? He’s out in the Solomons and good ness knows how long he’ll be there.” “And that’s just the point! He’s living an unnatural life thousands of , nmles from home. Everything around j him is strange and most things are j uncoinfortable. But at night, when he I gets in his hammock and pulls the I mosquito nettings up over his head, I he can get away from it all for a little while by thinking just as hard I as he can about home. About this I room for one,thing. If what the other boys say is true, he finds refuge in ; imagining he's back here sitting on ' that sofa, lumps and all, with his ' feet wearing that spot on the rug still thinner, and he raises the blinds so the sun can fade the draperies a little more. He loves everything in this room, and counts on finding it just this way when he' finally gets home.” There’s another thing Bill, and millions like him, will count on find ing just as they left it when they get back and that is individual freedom and the chance to work out their own destinies. Right now these men in uniform haven’t much freedom. That’s been handed over for the duration in or der to serve their country. They’re taking orders and obeying them whe ther they like it or not. But when the war is won and they are out of uniform once more, they I won’t want anybody to tell them what to do. All they want is a fair chance at jobs and the kind of free- i dom America has always given her sons. Freedom to pursue life, liberty, I and happiness. j That’s another thing they dream I about at night under those strange ' stars! I Buy War Bonds Today!

That’s no pipe dream, and here’s hopin’ that happy day will come—soon. SFLMA DRUG COMPANY of Health By DR. VICTOR G. HEISER MEDICAL CONSULTANT VIATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF MANUFACTOREHS Women and the War Women of the United Nations have responded to the state of war with unwavering gallantry all over the world. Chinese women tend the wounded on the fields of battle. Russian girls fight and work alongside their men folk, and English yomen proved their valor under fire when their cities were bombed. Millions in America In America, women have volunteer ed for hospital and other emergency services, and for the women’s auxil iary branches of the armed forces. Many more are needed. Several millions, too, have gone in to war industries to lend their man ual dexterity, thoroughness, and skill to the man-sized job of making the weapons of war. All this has put an unaccustomed strain upon the patriotic women who have undertaken this wartime work. “Honeymoon” Now Over For American women in industry, the “honeymooon” stage is almost over. From now on there will be more grit than glamour for them in their wartime jobs. Many women, after several months in their new occupations, are finding that the unaccustomed activity of a regular job, plus wartime conditions in general, are making it necessary for them to plan their work-week carefully in order to avoid too great fatigue. Recognizing this, factor from the start, industry has done much to pro tect the health and well-being of the woman worker. Working conditions everywhere are improving to make the industrial en vironment as home-like and congenial as possible. Pleasant retiring rooms have been especially constructed, in many cases provided with recreation al facilities, for women employees. Work has been carefully replanned so that Miss and Mrs. America do ing war work will have a minimum of lifting, standing, and other fatigu ing work. Atrractive uniforms have been made available, and shopping and other services have been arrang ed for their convenience. Industry can and does make work ing conditions pleasant and conven ient—but this will be to little avail ■ if the woman doing her bit on the production front fails to plan effec tively for the safeguarding of her health. Here are eight suggestions in the form of a Blueprint for Feminine Health in Wartime. It applies to all women on the home front in time of (1) Eat the right foods for health; (2) Drink plenty of water; (3) Get plenty of off-duty fresh air and sun shine; (4) Get enough sleep; (5) Get sufficient exercise; (6) Get plenty of recreation; (7) Be moderate in all things; and (8) See your doctor occa sionally for a physical check-up.
